June 6th: the Sun in parallel to Venus and the Dumbbell Nebula (M27) take ideas and desires to an extreme, inviting us to moderate and reach an harmonious middle ground...

June 6th: the Sun and Venus are in parallel and at 30° from Vesta. After the much publicized transit of Venus across the solar disk, which is actually an ecliptic conjunction (the technical term), Venus and the Sun form a parallel of declination. This means they are at the same distance from the celestial equator, the circle that divides the celestial sphere in two ... This is a significant alignment, perhaps more than the conjunction, although visually it does not constitute a show. But the effects can be felt strongly too!  

     The parallel Sun/Venus includes the Dumbbell Nebula (M27), located in the constellation Vulpecula and it is a star in the final stages of its life. M27 is ejecting its atmosphere into space through its two poles, giving it the appearance of the fresh remains of an apple. However, the trend is not as sweet as apple juice: the central star is extremely hot (85,000 degrees Kelvin!). This corresponds with extremist ideological tendencies and an opinionated mind.  

     The parallel Sun/Venus/M27 thus indicates the possibility of getting caught by extremist ideas, whether scientific, religious, political or artistic ... This can result in heavy fighting and discussions, that basically are looking to reach a middle ground, to find some objectivity. The harmony implicit in the combination Sun/Venus can help to moderate things, but the effort has to be for the sake of knowledge and not through trying to impose our own points of view, as wonderful as they might be. As most people are not aware of this, we will witness in various parts of the world, titanic duels between political opponents, religious clashes, students vs. government, an so on. On the other hand, this combination can give very positive results at an artistic and scientific level, and therefore great performances and interesting news in both fields are expected.  

     At a personal level, the combination Sun/Venus/M27 strongly emphasizes desire, sexuality, personal emotions, so the high temperature of M27 can make us boil inside... Venus is too very hot, as it retains almost all the heat that it gets from the Sun beneath its dense atmosphere. As we cannot avoid feeling a strong impulse at this level, the best solution is to channel it positively through a positive emotional expression, but above all, creating beauty, harmony around us, in our relationships and our work with the elements we have at our disposal. Trying to impose our own  idea of harmony would be absurd!  What we have in front of us is the material available to have positive connections with friends, family, family, colleagues, acquaintances... Don't look further! Artistic creations will be most favored by this combination and the best channel for this energy, so we do not get swept by it, but catapulted instead to reach our goals and have achievements.

     Do not let your ideas take precedence over reality! Harmony must prevail or we will get exactly the opposite... Maintaining peace and integrity is the humble contribution of the asteroid Vesta at 30° of this incandescent trio... (Vesta is also symbolized by fire, but as an icon of spiritual inner peace, like a candle).

     Finally, Mercury is at 30° from Jupiter, which emphasizes the need to adjust to different ideas. This also encourages trade, sales, distribution, advertising, exchange, travel and promises a relatively flowing daily life in general if you have some flexibility.
